SHAVING-STICK 'HOLDER.

Application filed June 28, 1909.

To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I. JOSEPH F. OBi'nn'n, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Contact, in the county of Elko and State of Nevada,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving-StickHolders, of which the following is a specificatim.

This invention is an improvement in soap holders and especially in soapholders designed tor use for shaving purposes, and the inventionconsists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts aswill be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a longitudina section of a soap holderembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is adetail section showing the thimbleand the carrier plate screwing therein. Fig. 3 is an elevation of thecarrier plate. Fig. I is a perspective view showing the soap block withthe thiinble and the carrier plate applied.

In carrying out my invention I employ a box A closed at one end A. andthreaded at its other or open end A to receive the thimble B which isthreaded to screw within the threaded end of the box or body A and has aflaring end, plate B which may be milled to give a better grip inturning the same withln the box or body A and being flared forms anellicient base upon which the device may stand when the soap is not inuse.

The soap block C is provided at one end with the carrier D to which thesoap block is held preferably in the manner hereinafter described andthis carrier l) screws within the thimble B so it may be adjusted fromthe position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 2 Whenever desiredespecially when the soap is nearly all consumed and it is desired toeject from the thimble the unconsnmed ortion of the soap. As shown thethimble i is open at both ends and the soap carrier D may be screwedtherein from its outer to its inner end or maybe retained at anyintermediate point as shown, for instance, in Fig. l. The carrier 1) isprovided with means to facilitate its turning. These consist of a plateor plates E projecting from the outer side of the soap carrier andform-V ing bearings for engagement by the finger and thumb in turningthe soap carrier within the threaded thimble B. As shown the soapcarrier has an end plate l)" provided with numerous perforations D andit is Patented July 1 2, 1910. Serial No. 504,742.

also shown as provided with an outer end plate I), the space between theplates D- l) and operate to bind the soap to its carricr.

In the use of the invention the carrier. is

screwed into the thimble or ring B toi about the position shown in Fig.l or to a position nearer the milled end of the thimble if desired withthe lugs or plates E incased within the said thiinble and the thimbleand carrier are placed in position under a filling hole in a machinecontaining the soap when soft and the soap is admitted through'asuitable mold which is flush with the 11 per face of the thimble untilthe soap stic is firmly pressed into the two assembled parts B and l).The soap being soft or in a lastic condition will run through the smalholes D of the carrier in such manner, see Fi 's. l and 2, as to unitethe soap firmly to t e carrier. Before the soap is admitted the operatoror factory hand may run a small brush supplied with oil around theinterior threads of the thinible B so the soap will not adhere to thesaid thimble. The mold being taken off after the soap is cut 0d thedesired length the soap will be fast to its carrier and the said carrierwill be Within the tliim'ble and the latter may be screwedinto the boxor body A. when the soap is ready for market.

The thimble and carrier form a handle for the soap and when the soap hasbeen used down to the thimble it is only necessary for the operator toinsert his fingers in the end of the ring B into engagement with thelugs or plates E and screw the carrier within the thimble to cause alittle more soap to protrude and this may be repeated from time to timeuntil all of the soap has been con snmed exce t the small quantity whichmay have passer through the holes in the carrier plate.

' The end plate I) is shown as supplied with an opening I) forming avent torthe escape of air as the soap passes through the openings .fl".

I claim:

1. The combination substantially as described, of a box or bed 1 open atone end and threaded at such on a thimble screwmg into said threaded endof the body and having its outer end flared and a son carricr screwingwithin said thimble an having at its outer side means to facilitate itsturning within the thimble and also provided at its inner side with aplate perforated for the passage of soap when in soft condition,substantially as set forth.

2. .A' soap holder comprising a box open at one end and threaded at suchend, a threaded thimble screwing in the threaded end of the box andhavmgits outer end flared forming a base on which torsupport the thirnble,and a stop to abut the end of the box, and a soap carrier screwing intothe thimble, substantially as set forth.

3. A soa holder comprising a thimble open at bot ends and a soap carrierm0v able within said thimble and having a plate provided withunobstructed perforations through which the soap may pass when soft,

substantially as set forth.

4:. A soap holder comprising a thirnble open at both ends and providedwith threads and a soap carrier screwing within. said thimble andprovided at its inner end with a plate having unobstructed perforationsin which soap may be held and at its outer end with means formingbearings for the fingers in turning the carrier within the thinible,substantially as set forth.
